Metallica is at Sphere this week. Ticket prices are dropping fast

There’s nothing quite as metal as a deal.And, today, we found a doozy.At the time of publication, prices are dropping fast to see Metallica in their third week of their Life Burns Faster residency at Las Vegas Sphere.Just last week when our team reported on how much it cost to see James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo live on Oct.15 and 17, two-day “No Repeat Weekend” passes started at $1,533 including fees on Vivid Seats.Now, a mere six days later, prices start at $902 including fees for Thursday and Saturday’s shows.Single-day passes have also plummeted.Based on our findings, the lowest price to see Metallica this coming weekend on Oct.
